Not to be confused with selfish, being ‘self-ish’, means being aware of your self and your needs, and keeping balance between healthy body and mind, in order to be of use to others. We must make time not only to treat ourselves, but allow time just to be ourselves, to re-energise and contemplate on theContinue reading “Be Self-ish”

STRAWBERRY MOON
Sadly, the weather was so bad that I could not watch the sunrise on 21st June. How different from a few days before when I saw beautiful rose-gold sunrises. The heavy rain and winds made the longest day seem even longer, but I am hoping all the rain will result in lovely fruit from myContinue reading “STRAWBERRY MOON”
HERE COMES SUMMER!
How lovely the last couple of days have been after such a mardy May. The 1st June (by the way, lucky month to you all) holds much promise judging by what I woke up to this morning. Flowers and shrubs seemed to have bloomed, popping in full colour, over night. Summer is on its way!Continue reading “HERE COMES SUMMER!”
WHERE THERE IS A NEED
This is something we can all relate to. We have all felt need in some form or other. It is also something we can all respond to. It simply takes awareness, compassion and action, which is within everyone. You don’t have to be a specialist in anything to respond to the needs of others. ThisContinue reading “WHERE THERE IS A NEED”
RELATIONSHIPS
I suppose this word immediately conjures up partners, family and friends, but relationships occur on many different levels, at varied times. Our relationship with everything around us not only affects and forms us, but others too. The way we interact and respond to everything has a ‘knock on’ effect and thereby carries on through othersContinue reading “RELATIONSHIPS”
CAST NOT A CLOUT ‘TIL MAY IS OUT
This old saying was instantly brought to mind for me this morning as I stepped outside. It is a beautifully sunny spring morning – but so very cold! One naturally feels like shedding a layer or two once the sun shines, but there must have been a reason this rhyme came about. My thinking isContinue reading “CAST NOT A CLOUT ‘TIL MAY IS OUT”
PATTERNS
Patterns exist throughout the universe. Patterns in nature, in design, even in behaviour. Everything has its own pattern – look at a spider web, no two the same, and look at your fingerprints – unique. Early humans expressed themselves in patterns, some were art but others warnings, records of where to find food and waterContinue reading “PATTERNS”
IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LOVE – PLAY ON!
Very apt, given that we have just celebrated St. Valentine’s Day! Most people like music, even love music. I don’t think I have ever met anyone who doesn’t. It’s not that strange actually when you think that music is truly in us. From our first senses in the womb, our mother’s heartbeat is the firstContinue reading “IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LOVE – PLAY ON!”
DREAMS
It is said that dreams are a way of the brain processing events of the day, or previous days and times. Things we have seen, heard, talked and thought about etc: They can bring up things we may not have retained or even noticed happening during our waking hours and weave them into our sleepContinue reading “DREAMS”
WE DON’T ALWAYS CHOOSE THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO US.
…. but we can choose how we re-act to them. This I think is so true, although not always easy. Fundamentally, we have two choices in such situations:- Feel sorry for ourselves, feel hard done by, angry and complain about it. OR 2. Accept we cannot change what has or is happening to us andContinue reading “WE DON’T ALWAYS CHOOSE THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO US.”
